New Year and Beyond

sorry it's taken me so long to make another post. after Christmas, and then new years time went by too fast. new years eve Jon and i stayed up watching a movie, drank a little bit of alcohol to the new year and then enjoyed ourselves some more. New years day, our first anniversary, we hung out together until around 5 when Jon's sister Mary came over whttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.photo.gifith the girls. We then drove overnight in his little volkswagen jetta with him and I and Mary and the girls all packed in. it wasnt a very cozy trip, unless you were in the drivers seat drinking some monster energy drink and watching the nothingness of nebraska go by.

back in minnesota we had very few minutes alone. our days were pretty much planned out to the T. one day here with so and so and another day there with the other so and so. it was a good non-vacation trip.

I now already on my third week of school. the projects keep piling on and work isnt getting me enough money; like always. this quarter I'm taking large format (with a 4x5 camera, the one that kinda looks like an acordian), lighting, digital Image, Western Civ, and color management. I would have to say that my plate is overflowing like at a Christmas dinner. The biggest complication is trying to juggle my time wisely and then keep my mind in an organized mess. I think I'm ok so far. We will see in about 3 weeks when the quarter is halfway over. One of my goals for the quarter is to keep my GPA up. At the moment it is at 3.6, which is the highest it has ever been, that i can remember. I'm so proud of myself. I guess its that time in my life where i have to start patting myself on the back and telling myself that i am doing a good job in life. it would be nice at times to have someone other than jon tell me that i'm doing a good job though. oh well. i guess im in the "real world" now.

Jenny and I are starting to be Bible-study buddies. I called her the other day crying my eyes out, just needing someone to talk to. She was there for me and that meant the world to me. I love that I have her! she is such a blessing. we talked about everything big and small that has been happening in our lives. it was wonderful...

Life seems to be getting me one thing after another after another. To have God, my husband, and a great friend to talk to is the best thing that could happen to me. It means the world to me that they will listen to all my questions about God and life and wont make fun of me or tell me i am a bad person for thinking the things i do. Never in life will you know all the answers, and even if you think you know the answer, it may not be right. I hate having the people in my life that when i even mention something that might have passed through my head or a question/theory that i am contemplating that they judge me and i am wrong right then and there. it is one of the most hurtful things a person could ever do to a friend or family member.

well there were some thoughts that went through my head. it feels good to write them down and get them out of my head. I suppose that is what journals are all about.
